Flies really well with plenty of power
considering it uses 2 standard Speed 400 motors. Climb at a comfortable speed is approx.
15°. Loops and rolls are easily possible from level flight and inverted requires only a
small elevator input. A really nice model that I'd recommend to anyone - an ideal electric
trainer. Will even take-off (run off ground) from snow
without assistance.

20 Jan 08 - A
friend asked to buy the Twin Star and I agreed as I could do with reducing the
number of aircraft I have to make room for new projects.

11 Jan 03 - I have just swapped the
Webra Nano S6 receiver for a Hitec HFD-07RA Dual conversion set as I wanted the
Webra receiver for the AFF Alpha Jet.

22 Jun 01 - I have fitted the HS-81MGs to
elevator and rudder and the control response is much improved. I also changed
the JR 9ch receiver for the Webra 6ch unit, which offsets some of the weight
increase due to the servos. Due to a Günther propeller flying off, I have
fitted Graupner CAM Speed 14cm x 11cm (5.5" x 4.3") propeller with
suitable adapters. The Graupner propellers don't seem to have changed the flight
performance but won't fly off.

28 Dec 00 - We had about 1/4" (6mm)
of snow last night & I couldn't resist taking this model out for some fun. I
decided that it would probably run off snow without assistance, and I was right.
The first take-off was a little screwy, but it made it, with subsequent
take-offs being much better. On one landing I caught a wing tip in the snow and
it spun the model 180°. I managed to turn the model into wind just using the
rudder.

13 Aug 00 - I managed to get the first
flights in yesterday and I'm really impressed by this model.

11 Aug 00 - Other things took priority
and I've only just completed the model. Despite painting the fuselage and wings it turned
out 3½ oz. (100g) lighter than the stated weight. It is really nice to see a manufacturer
that quotes realistically achievable weights The savings are due to using Union
Micro UM-9G servos throughout and the extremely light RC Line MSC-50B controller. I am
considering applying some fibre-glass tape to the upper surface of the wing to stiffen it
for inverted flight, but will wait until after the first flights.

14 Jul 00 - I bought this model at the same time as the Pico
Jet, but have only just added to the site. I have started construction by filling all the
upper surfaces & sides of the foam components as I intend the paint the model. I have
got as far as fitting the wing spars, so not much more work to do. Maybe I'll be able to
finish the model tomorrow.

11 Mar 00 - I have noticed a stiffening
in the rudder control cable, which is giving the servo some difficulty. As a
precaution, I will be replacing both Rudder and Elevator servos with Hitec
HS-81MGs, to ensure control is retained. These have over 3x the torque
capability for a 2/3oz. (18g) weight increase.
